The Gaelyk framework, one such framework written in Groovy, eases development of lightweight applications that leverage Google’s schema-less datastore.

In this article published by IBM DeveloperWorks entitled “Gaelyk for Google App Engine“, you’ll see how Gaelyk facilitates the development of rapid, lightweight applications that properly leverage the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. And through the magic of Groovy, Gaelyk throws in a few ease-of-use facilities on top of the App Engine’s APIs. Moreover, you can use Gaelyk alongside the Google App Engine plug-in for Eclipse. Rapid development and deployment of Google App Engine applications couldn’t get any easier.
